Compared to the cattle auction last week, 400 - 500 lb steer calves were 6.00 to 9.00 lower with 700 - 800 lb yearling steers steady to 8.00 lower. Today's heifer trade saw 400 - 500 lb new crop calves 4.00 to 10.00 lower with 800 lb yearling heifers 4.00 to 6.00 lower. Available today were load lots of quality yearling feeder cattle off grass. Today's offering of new crop, home raised, green, double vaccinated calves were equally "off the cow" and weaned 45 days. Demand was good for today's moderate offering.
